Yes, I remember!
This reply is about 15 years late to @sgrmag2564's question, but I was there, and I absolutely remember the Garden literally rocking during Sugar Mag. I was in the upper lever, and I was actually starting to become afraid that there was some resonant frequency happening that could cause the balcony to collapse.

Underwhelmed
As I’ve noted in previous posts, I always read everyone else’s comments before writing mine. And it constantly amazes me how rosy every show is cast, no matter what the show is like? I think this is a particularly good example of it, because L. Rosey is correct - “...the previous night has more energy.” And that’s not hard to perceive when there is NO energy at all. Bob’s version of Minglewood is still in the 9/2 and 9/4 Pat Boone-ish phase. Thank god it vanished quickly! I wish I could say this is an average GOOD show, but I can’t. So, sorry to rain on everyone’s parade. The (most likely) Hell’s Angel’s motorcycle reving during drums is funny. I like the no-outro vocals in PITB going straight into drums. NFA isn’t too bad, which is pretty hard to screw up. I’m kind of surprised that Kbmill and Omniverse are the only reviewers (in the other SBD upload) who mention the nice transitions of Space > NFA > Stella Blue? That caught my ear. I sped up Sugar Magnolia a bit because it dragged. And the soundboard is decent, but still needed reverb for sustain and room ambiance - with Jerry just barely holding it together vocally. That’s about it with any recommendation for the show.

Stellar Blue
I have searched for this board for the last twenty years.I had it on a filler and was never able to locate it again.Must of got lost in the shuffle somewhere.Thank you archive,because the Stella Blue on this is the prettiest thing I've ever heard.Give it a listen.The jam at the end is Garcia at his best.This builds to a march.Nobody could play pretty like Jerry.Nobody.His guitar sounds like it's actually crying.Check it out I'm serious.Damn near the most beatiful thing I've ever heard.Pretty decent show,like the jingly quality of this 79 period.Good sound.

Not bad
This show has some good bits and has decent performances throughout, but the previous night has more energy. The first set is more interesting. It is nice to hear China Cat. The second set seems to lose steam after Terrapin. Drums here is too long and more annoying than most. By the end, Bob is sounding tired on Sugar Magnolia and Johnny, and Jerry is just playing chords.

Fun run of shows
I attended this 3 show run at the Garden. Lots of fun, all high energy. I was all of 16. I started school the morning after the first show. After this 3rd and final show, I was so shot.

First Garden Gig
Took the train from Jersey, Newark then slid right under the Garden not even seeing the streets of the city.Went to this show with a good buddy visiting from out West. Laid back and crispy I recall, botched lyrics even sounded sweet, Jer's voice in good shape telling tales of Terrapin and Althea a solid Playin too.A treat to get a China>Rider (Check out the first week in November, they were on a roll). My second exposure to Brent (5-4 being first). His energy contribution was obvious. THis is also a sweet SBD for 79, good patch work too, many thanks goin along with the memories!

five star show
No doubt there is not much to say except that this is a very well played and recorded evening. China cat was just played 1 show ago but it was only the 8th time in 5 years so it is rare as well as the early sailor>saint as the previous reveiwer points out. China cat is very tight and the NFA is standard for the time period but the snd quality is so unique that it makes it special. Don't miss out on drums and space and the nifty well played first set while you drool over all of set two. I recommend all three of these MSG shows, this being the last night of the run.

Those were the days
Perhaps I'm just nostalgic over my first show, but listen to the quality of Jerry's voice on Althea, the energy of Chinacat-->Rider, and the quality of this early Sailor-->Circumstance. Nice job, boys.
